Netflix Is a Joke Festival

Netflix Is a Joke Fest is a biennial comedy festival produced by Netflix that takes place in Los Angeles, California. Having taken place in 2022 and 2024, the festival hosts conventional standup shows, showcase shows, live podcast recordings, and table reads. In 2024, an outdoor event was added for weekends during the festival and featured a variety of performances including roast battles, drag shows, trivia shows, and musical performances in addition to conventional stand-up comedy with surprise lineups.

At the 2022 festival, during a performance at the Hollywood Bowl, comedian Dave Chappelle was attacked by someone in attendance who had rushed the stage. The incident received extensive media coverage.

In 2024, several major festival events, including The Roast of Tom Brady, John Mulaney Presents: Everybody's in LA, and Katt Williams' latest special Woke Foke, were broadcast live for Netflix subscribers, making them accessible to viewers worldwide as they were performed in Los Angeles.
